Waste Project Pipeline and bottlenecks

Ministry of Environment, Mining and Spatial PlanningDepartment for Project Management

The Waste Project Pipeline

• MEMSP is developing a pipeline of Waste projects to enable a significant improvement in the quality of waste infrastructure

• The pipeline is a process of the continuous development of projects, 15 waste management projects are in pipeline at present (upgraded SLAP, still in progress)

• The DPM works with local and national level institutions from the Concept stage through to Operational Management

• A major part of DPM support is about unblocking ‘bottlenecks’in the pipeline.

Unblocking the project pipeline

‘Bottlenecks’The development of projects can be slowed or stopped by institutional,

financial or technical obstructions.

• Institutional obstructions include Inter-Municipal Cooperation, related Agreements and Contracts, division of responsibilities between national and local level. (for waste management, communal services, project management)

• Technical obstructions are wide ranging but include a shortage of technical skills for project design and project implementation, need for legal advice and the general lack of experience in Regional Waste Management Centres in Serbia.

• Investment Planning and Financial obstructions include lack of funding and lack of experience in planning financial management.

Resolving bottlenecks

The obstructions causing bottlenecks can be: project specific or systemic.

Project specific problems should be resolved by the project management but, in exceptional circumstances, the issues may be raised to a national level.

The DPM can be most effective addressing systemic problems where the lessons learned from one project can be used to assist others.

Examples of national level actionInstitutional:

•Systemic guidelines: Participation in development of a Guide on Inter-Municipal Agreements in partnership with SCTM;

•Support to the establishment of Regional company which willl operate regional waste management center Kalenic;

Technical:

•Improving quality of technical documentation in order to meet EU and international requirements and standards

•Support to identifying location and planning documents for the location

•Support to the technical documentation /construction for the missing parts of infrastructure (e.g. Transfer station), in order to make regional system operational

Investment Planning and Financial:

•Investment planning (DSIPs etc.), identifying the priority projects , providing funding for documentation and bringing them to the maturity level for financing

•Increased access to funding by structuring and presenting project information in a way useful to donors and IFIs;

•Completing the financing gap by coordination of all funding sources

Identifying Bottlenecks

• The DPM has limited resources and time.

• One of the roles the Waste Sub-Group can play is to assist the DPM in identifying obstructions and solutions.

• Sharing experience and advice is welcome.
